  • Patent number: 4381616
    Abstract: A menu display is provided having a plurality of independent, rotatable exhibitor units. The exhibitor units are placed edge to edge to form an exhibiting surface. Each exhibitor unit includes a plurality of pictorial display panels which form a prism-like housing in which is contained a light source. The light source is preferably coaxial with the axis of rotation of the exhibitor unit. The exhibitor units may rotate upon a tongue and groove structure or upon roller bearings. Display panels not in the exhibiting surface are stored in the exhibitor unit. A pictorial display may be fixed to the display panel housing using electrostatic attraction provided by plastic sheets having electrostatic properties. An elevated embodiment of the menu display is provided with a recessed, elevated base. The recessed base allows changing of insertable exhibitor sheets from below a display assembly without the use of a ladder.
